Amazing trip to Chitlang
Rating:
We met Bishnu in Kathmandu and we reached the Cithlang Village after a great trip by cable car and then we had an amazing nature walking. It was a pleasure to have an home stay and the day after we enjoyed boating at Marku Village Lake. We experienced also a nice local bus trip to Pharphing.
